DOBOS TORTE

Ingredients

• 6 each Egg yolks
• 1/2 pound Powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup Flour
• 6 each Egg whites
• 1/2 pound Butter
• 1/2 pound Sweet chocolate
• 1 cup Strong liquid coffee
• 1/2 pound Granulated sugar

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, cream the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour, sifting it three times before adding. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites.
2. 2Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter the underside of pie plates and dust with flour. Spread the batter very thinly onto the prepared pie plates. Bake for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove layers at once with a spatula.
3. 3Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Set aside. Break the chocolate into a cup of strong liquid coffee. Add the granulated sugar and let it boil until it can be pulled almost like candy. Remove from heat and stir the chocolate mixture until it is quite cold. When cold, add the chocolate mixture to the creamed butter.
4. 4Spread a thin layer of the chocolate buttercream between each cake layer. Spread the remaining icing thicker on the top and sides of the cake. Allow the cake to set before serving.
